Spanish term

Tampoco existe ninguna (sentencia, decreto, etc) - grammar!

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s) reclamos y litigios
Quiero asegurarme de que la siguiente frase es gramaticalmente correcta.

"No existe ningún reclamo, queja, acción o demanda pendiente con los contratos de XXX. Tampo existe ninguna sentencia, decreto, amparo, orden ni laudo pendiente en relación con los contratos de XXX"

Mi versión: There are no pending claims, complaints, actions or lawsuits in relation to the XXX contracts. Neither are there any pending judgment, decree, legal protection, order or decision in relation to the XXX contracts".

Es correcto?

"There exist no..." is incorrect.

Thank you for all your responses. What about "There exist no pending judgments, decrees, legal protections, orders or decisions related to the XXX Contracts either".
Is this gramatically correct?

Nor is there any

pending judgment and the remaining nouns in the sequence are singular so the verb must correspond
